That means no social outings or visiting family. Nothing but making jackets right?

Looking great! I thought you had a sort of retro/period neckerchief on for a second there 
Took quite a while to come in the post? Congrats on getting it.

That looks amazing! Superb fit.
I bet that goes some way to making up for this ball-ache of a year... Wear it in good health!

Oh, indeed. If there’s one thing that 2020’s been great for, it’s my jacket collection. Still not sure if that’s ultimately a good thing...

Jan, how does the Star fit compared to your 23380 and other jackets?

Asset consolidation! 2020 has been the greatest consolidation of wealth since the GFC....Oh, indeed. If there’s one thing that 2020’s been great for, it’s my jacket collection. Still not sure if that’s ultimately a good thing...

I would say it's like a Dubow fit, but a bit tighter in the belly, and with RW 23380 arm holes. From what you've said about what you like about your different BK jackets, I think it would be your perfect jacket, Brett.

10 days in customs? .... Luxury (Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen style for those familiar with that sketch)... the RW23380 I picked up from GW in May positively flew across the pond only to land in treacle with our fine Post Office customs service.
Great looking Star.

That Star looks great!
Kind of thinking about getting one, too. Is that Liberty HH?

Just less than a week before the 10th-month anniversary of me placing my order I actually received my jacket today! And I must say it's absolutely beautiful: the leather is so supple and textured beautifully, the lining feels heavyweight quality in the right way and the cut is fantastic- I love the way it drapes off the shoulders. It's a slightly more restrictive cut around the shoulders than other similar jackets I have surprisingly (especially when you raise your arms up in front, so I don't know how driving will be in it) but overall I'm over the moon with it. This is the Relic Hunter in Striated Lamb.
I don't know if I could face buying from BK again though: 10 months of waiting was a bit too stressful for me and felt like too much of a leap of faith. But I'm very glad I have the end product now.
